I'll stop laughing if it ever becomes even remotely plausible. Right now it's pretty funny.
For instance, a common concern espoused by white nationalists is that other races have a nefarious plot to eliminate the white race by having so much sex with white people that after several dozen generations the average melanin content of their descendants' skin increases, making their complexions darker than it is at present. How a group that was not killed and successfully passed on its genetic material can be said to have suffered genocide I really don't know...
OK, but I don't think they are the same thing. The 'I' is the main thing - Investment and Interest are different. If you make an investment of capital, you may well get interest - and/or you could get back more capital and get a capital gain which would then be your Return on Investment, even if you were paid no interest. I know this level of detail spoils your Ireland joke a bit, but this kind of financial shenanigans is why the banks have most of us over a barrel.
I think they should have dropped it -- if they were going to drop it at all -- first on an unpopulated or thinly-populated valley, then told the Japanese government what they'd done and where. Told them to go measure the blast radius, examine the blast effects, and be sure to take Geiger counters. After that, if the Japanese didn't agree to open up talks, only then should they have targeted a populated area.
Having nothing new is something that the regressive left can never be accused of. In just the last few years they have given us white privilege, subconscious bias, micro-aggression's, triggers and snow-flake, to name but a few pearls.
Where did I call for racial imbalance? Black Lives Matter speaks to the heart of the issue - all lives matter, so we should start acting like it by affording black lives the value they deserve.
Also, you're right, no-one can force you to be either offended or accepting of something. That's entirely personal. However, we all need to put up with what is commonly considered to be acceptable, particularly given the context.
Acknowledging that people are different is not racist. It's possible to have a collective identity that takes into account racial, social, political and religious backgrounds without that collective identity impinging on the rights of another collective group. Equality is not uniformity. Difference is OK. Context is key and nuance should be explored and celebrated.
Whatever colour, there is no satirical or any other sort of humour there - racist genocide is not funny - why is it so hard for First Dog to understand that?
As opposed to yourself, who puts a : ) thingy after everything you write which you falsely believe to be funny, or is it that at least one person finds your witherings amusing....albeit yourself.
Go sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.
They were supposed to replace the crackers every month, but they only came once. Along with grousing about the teacher who had claustrophobia, the teachers groused about how the crackers were years old and were probably inedible.
Haven't spotted your here at the Dogonaut Lounge fingal, but that explanation earns you a chair next to the fireplace and a whisk(e)y. The Marsupialists who inhabit the place are quite neat, so do wash out your tumbler and turn the lights off when you decide to head off. Cheers!
You just don't get the sophistication of FDOM. It's very subtle stuff you see. The West is terrible, white people should be eradicated, and anyone not white is a victim and perfect in every way. You need an Arts degree to understand the genius
"N Korea is not threatening to invade anywhere. As Churchill said 'Jaw, Jaw is preferable to War, War'." Tell that to the South Koreans; those paranoid war mongers spending billions maintaining defenses along the demilitarized zone.
"In order for balance to be sought, the imbalance must be called out and acknowledged."
Achieving racial balance by creating racial imbalance with what is acceptable racism is completely ridiculous and counterproductive.
History's narrative doesn't get to determine what I or anyone else finds acceptable or not. That leads to racial stereotyping, and collective identity. Aren't we trying to avoid that?
The wig would create a new race with the wig of Elton John and the moustache of Freddy Mercury from Viz circa 1989 and more recently the moustache of Col. K from Dangermouse.
I'd guess that when he was 11, someone gave him an Atomic Wedgie, and he's been looking for a way to revenge himself on the world ever since. A full blown Atomic War would be about the level he would see as appropriate. Plus, as a cockroach, he could probably survive being a ground zero.
Agreed. :-)
Whataboutery warning: However, the description fits the barker-in-chief as well if you switch 'someone gave him an Atomic Wedgie' for 'someone dismissed his gropey advances'.
Truman had already used one bomb, and was about to use another. He had the tactical benefit that the opposition didn't have nuclear weapons. And he probably didn't understand the effects of nuclear fallout. N Korea is not threatening to invade anywhere. As Churchill said 'Jaw, Jaw is preferable to War, War'.
I think we need to acknowledge that history and context will have an impact of what is deemed to be acceptable.
It's like the Black Lives Matter/All Lives Matter argument - BLM is arguing that ALM. ALM, as a movement, fails to acknowledge that, by pretty much any measure you care to use, black lives do not currently matter as much as far as the system is concerned. Education, poverty, incarceration rates, police shootings and violence... people of black origin in the States and elsewhere are at the wrong end of those statistics.
In order for balance to be sought, the imbalance must be called out and acknowledged.
This cartoon is, obliquely and probably unintentionally, also pointing out that this joke is acceptable because history's narrative does not make this a sensitive or seriously offensive joke.

What about Jungle cockroaches?
I think it was the first which was gratuitous.

So this stand-off is because they're white? Pfft.
I am Eurasian, and I find nothing remotely humorous about it.
.. and let's face it we were really voting for Gary in the first place ;)
I amend your sticker slightly:
"Obey the US, or we'll bring democracy to YOUR country"

Comments on this thread will close shortly. Thanks for your contributions.
Real or not real, dogs should not bite the hand that feeds them
Provide the known data. And the common sense.

Great work, again!
Wipe your chin then.
When they commission a cartoon saying, jokingly or not, it's be nice to exterminate any other race, give me a call.

Truman should have been derided.
I understand the arguments for the first bomb, but the second was gratuitous.
thanks
thats whu i wrote the line ((ps I know it actually means return of interest)
you don;t really "do" humour do you?
Ha, big surprise
Return on Investment
..and, you believe this tosh?

I pity anyone who ended up in that time. Planet of the Wigs

Wouldn't a white supremacist browser zoom in on that line, rather than block it out??
Try harder petal.

Sleeping is for wimps. Tweeting is much better.
Truman didn't threaten Japan with nuclear annihilation for simply threatening him with words. They were at war, with millions dead.
NK may be nutters, but all they did was goad Trump, not kill lots of US soldiers
I hated sleeping at night anyway.
Jeez that's scary.
Extrapolating from known data + common sense.
Agreed. :-)

he'd be fine. He's not real.

Nope, they'll be dead or loudly demanding radiation meds.
